John thinks to himself "and I got in trouble for scrying, oh cruel irony!"

"Well this should be fun, an Arrow bunker should be well defended against intruders." Rune says more to himself as he is taking in all the info, he turns to John. "It sounds like we can't continue until you manage to break through some of these wards, so do you need to go somewhere special do this?"

"Special in this would be any random place not connected to any of us. As have done in the past I very may well be the center of a ton of supernal hate when I attempt to peirce the veil there." Dee says rather flatly. "If I may see these documents I can get started and no I don't need nor want to take them with me."
Dee was half tempted to do his scrying from the FC's hotel but was certain he would be the only one that got pleasure from that.

Starling indicates to the acolytes, and they bring a small stack of papers.
"I know you're going to need a place to stay Rune, so we'll be setting you up with a temporary space if you'd like. Boys, we'll keep in touch."

John nods appreciatively.
He begins to incant an atlantean verse and focuses on threads of the paper inter weaving them with his own.
01-06 21:53:21
John Dee rolls 11 dice to New Threads+HS 3 successes
9,5,4,3,8, 6,2,6,8,1, 6
John examines the stack, looking for hints at it's origin, language it is in, apparent age / condition, resonance it may yield, if it appears to be a complete work or if there seem to be missing parts.
ST Question: What rolls do I need should this be an extend action, if so I would request a room to study them in,

ST note:
Actually studying the papers will be a co-op extended action. Each roll is 1 hour since you'll be cross-referencing the papers with other documents.
You and Rune will roll the lowest of either your Int+Occult or Int+Investigation. Shared successes are cumulative.
After each roll stop for an explanation of what you've figured out.
You can either use an office in the Museum, or someplace else if you have access to a 1+ dot Library.

Rune and Dee head over to an office to further examine the papers. As they approach the door Dee turns and says "Hey I need a few minutes to handle something mind if I meet you in the office in less than ten minutes Rune?"

As he is headed out he waves to ruby "It looks like I got work to do, but it was nice seeing you again. I hope they get your apartment taken care of soon."
"Sure I'll get everything set up, you go ahead and take your time." Grabbing the documents and heading in.

John walks in the office. Rune seemed to be a stand up guy and that helps thought John.
"Hey care for some coffee?" John offers.

"That would be great, no magic can come close to coffee when you need something to kick start your brain." Rune waits patiently for John to be ready to begin.

"Rune mind if I give you a boost supernally? It will give you a bit more focus. You know grey matter in hyper drive type deal" Dee says as he see Rune looking frustrated.

Most of the documents are vague, and the bulk of them have to do with logistics. One full section of the stack is simply a ledger for miscellaneous food and furniture, without any indication where it was shipped.

Shadows billow in the vast emptiness of the room, a sparse pair of aged lamps serving as a sputtering pool of light.
Cracking the door open with a chair had helped somewhat, a column of illumination into the solemn library chamber.
Thumbing through a manifest, Rune notices that something in the documents appears to reference another text. It's a shipping container id number without a list of contents. Maybe the ID's correspond to something?

"Let's see what we can figure out about this container. With the number and maybe a bit more I can track something down" John says looking at Rune.
ST: Do the documents have any enchantment on them?

A number of the documents have very elementary enchantments to obscure their contents, but a trained eye and supernal perception ensure that this is no obstacle in your research.
The door swings open a little wider, and an initiate pokes his head in the door.
"Do either of you need anything real quick? We're making a lunch run to the Noodle Haus."
ST note: John has made 0 Rolls (really?), Rune has made two.
John needs to make those rolls before we can move on to hour 3.

Dee is focused and nods no the the lunch as he chants. He draws the threads of space in following them through supernal channels and back to where the spells where imbued on these documents.
01-09 21:44:22
John Dee rolls 11 dice to Locate Source+HS 5 successes
9,9,5,8,1, 8,2,1,3,7, 10,2

East side. Near Brynnard and Palm. Three blocks down from the Quick and Go.
There's a ward on an abandoned gas station there.
Many Mages mark their sanctums or meeting places with invisible sigils to indicate whether or not visitors are welcome.
Searching for a mark like that first would be a good idea to prevent getting in trouble again.
Scrutiny roll to search

John "Hey do you know of an old gas station on the East side. Near Brynnard and Palm? Thats where these documents where imbued." he says to Rune.
That could easily be a supernal "flop house" or my luck a care bear haven, either way we are going slow on this one. Dee was not excited to make himself a fool again so soon.
